About Tommy
I love helping people learn something new and continue to get better at it. I like to put a big focus on technique at the start, which later makes the fun part of drumming easier and more fun! Rudiments, reading, transcribing, and playing songs are some of the main aspects of my teaching, but I am also happy to help my students with any specific goals they have as well! I have a BA in Music from Eastern Washington University, and have been teaching private lessons for over 2 years now in the Spokane area.
I enjoy seeing my students get excited about new aspects of drumming, and watching their skills grow as they continue to apply what they learn in lessons to their practice at home. I also love to see my students' reactions when they finally nail that fill, beat, or rudiment that they've been working on!
I started out as a Music Education major at EWU, but after teaching a few lessons to 20-30 kids at once, I realized that wasn't the path I wanted to take. I did, however, thrive in one-on-one lessons and got much more enjoyment out of being able to focus on one student at a time.
I have a Bachelor of Arts in Music from Eastern Washington University. I have also taken several education and music education courses from EWU, such as Special Ed. and Elementary Music.

Typically I will start with a heavy emphasis on technique, to help build good habits rather than have to break bad habits later. I also usually start new students off with a basic rock beat to get them started, as well as basic rhythmic notation reading for snare drum.
I have worked with students from age 6 to 60+, but most of my students are in middle school.
The advice I would give is that you get out of lessons what you put in. Learning does happen during the lesson, but real improvement comes from consistent practice in-between lessons. It's more important to practice often than to have lengthy practice sessions, so four 15-minute sessions in a week would likely have a greater impact than one two-hour session.

Tommy is a great teacher- kind and structured with a good understanding of music and how to teach it.
Tommy was very personable
and my sons enjoyed learning guitar and drums from someone who was young. His price was very reasonable and it was convenient to have him come to our home for the lessons. He always gave them challenging songs to work on until the next lesson. My teenage twins also liked his style of music.He is a great instructor for beginners - patient and encouraging. His technical skills are also helping tremendously as our son advances.
